Collected Papers of Sir Harold Jeffreys on Geophysics and Other Sciences in Six Volumes

by Sir Harold Jeffreys

These six volumes comprise the collected papers of Sir Harold Jeffreys from 1915 up to the present day. Edited by him, they have been carefully annotated in the light of later works. Sir Harold Jeffreys is probably best known for his work in geophysics - an interest that was aroused in his undergraduate days by Sir George Darwin's popular book on the tides - but his interests embrace a far wider field of study. This is shown particularly in the last volume, which includes, among other topics, his papers on probability and scientific method.
